Joe Rogan Experience #2545 - Jesse Michels · Aired Aug 25, 2026
Claim summary · not a verbatim quotation
Researcher Jacques Vallee has visited over 100 UFO crash sites.
The finding
What the evidence shows
Jacques Vallee is a genuine, long active UFO researcher, and materials in his archive reportedly cover around 500 anomalous events. But his research is described as archival and theoretical work rather than hands on fieldwork at crash locations, so the specific claim that he personally visited over 100 crash sites doesn't match how his work is actually characterized.
